I installed it to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Blankspace\game and there is a folder now called "blankspace-patch" with a folder called ".itch" inside, which is empty. When I start the game, there is no "patch enabled" to be seen... you said here that it works with the Steam version too but somehow I can't get it to work. Any advice? Is there a way to download the patch manually and move it to that folder myself? Because when I click on "download" it justs asks me directly where to INSTALL, it will not simply download anything.

Hey there! If you're playing the game over on Steam, then the patch is also available there as free DLC at this point - you can simply enable it from there, too, with no manual copypasting of any files needed. :)
Thank you so much for your answer! I've been trying to get the patch from Steam now for nearly an hour with deleting all my filters etc., restarting and whatnot. The problem is: it tells me there are 3 DLCs but I can see only two. Now that I tried really everything I can think of, I guess it's a problem with Steam Germany which is ridiculously strict with any sexual content. Do you know if that is the case? Anyway, I have no idea how to access the patch. Is there any other way? Do you have a direct link to the DLCs shoppage on Steam maybe? Either I can see that it is indeed blocked for me (maybe that info is interesting to you because that would apply to everyone in Germany) or I could finally find the patch.

Oh, I see. :0 Perhaps it's a matter of turning on preferences for adult content on your Steam account itself, then? Because when I'm logged into the NBS account, I also get the message that "1 item has been excluded based on your preferences", while I can see the patch just fine on my personal account.
Here's the link to the patch itself, if you'd like to check out if it opens up for you at all.

Hi, thanks again for your reply!! And now we have proof: when I click on your direct link, Steam tells me I can't access the page in Germany. (My preferences are always including any adult content.) So it's indeed blocked for German Steam users, which infuriates me ever since they changed it to that a few years ago, as it isn't even necessary by German law, they would just need to implement an age verification. >:( It's really ridiculous, when not even porn sites are blocked over here. Well, rant aside... do you have any idea how I could still get the file?

Really should just be a case of dropping the downloaded bs_patch.rpa file into the Blankspace\game folder alongside archive.rpa - while it shouldn't hurt anything, you shouldn't be seeing any extra folder created either as far as I recall! When you click the download link, are you NOT just getting a single bs_patch.rpa file? I could pop a copy up somewhere else if that might help.
Should look more or less like this when all's done (this is my own PC!):
Thanks for your answer, xolf! As I said I don't get the file itself, instead itch asks me, where to install - and then procedes to create that folder with subfolder and nothing inside. That's why I am asking if there is any other way of getting the file itself and installing it manually.
Edit: if you could indeed upload it somewhere else for me that would be SO nice of you as I'm sure that would solve the problem.
